Finally managed to get a YP not fantastic but given my financial predicament it will be on 2 bat 1 WK and I will add a field net ASAP

Never train from mediocre! You could pick up a high competent for a few thousand. You could train him for a whole season and he'll still be worth feck all. Massive waste of nets IMO.

 

[MrB]

To put it another way, I saw 18yo proficients going for less than £100k at the start of last season. He won't even be proficient at that stage. You would be better off sacking your coaches and saving £2.5k pw for each of them.

Please don't train him!

 

[MrB]

Gash and gash. Annoying as prices are even higher this year, a mid respectable selling for £3.5m!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

What he said...:sad:

 

[Davros]

High Mediocre for first team, low Competent for Franchise

No doubt will get my usual awesome pull in week 2, and miss out on about £1m as if i had this week.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Bloody forgot!! :nope::nope:

 

[MrB]

Bloody forgot!! :nope::nope:

You have until Saturday at 5:30 to make your week 1 pull!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Main was rubbish again (Med / Comp bowler with Resp Stamina)

Thought i'd done well with my franchise, pulled a bowler, saw the wage of £1,200 and then realised he had Respectable W/K :'(:thumbdown:

 

[MrB]

Two gash ones for me but have picked up two decent ones for ok money so training settled in.

Zero ITS. any thoughts or just see if there are bids?

 

[MrB]

He won't sell for loads but you would get cash for him. I would train him to strong batting then sell.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Wow, that's a great pull for 0 ITS. The lack of concentration matters a lot less as he's a keeper so will get the boost from training that.

Cheers both 2 nets with hopefully a third added in next week or two

 

[MrB]

2 bat, 1 WK, 1 field would be more beneficial in the short term. Getting the WK to Superb rather than Strong will make naff all difference to his value. Whereas the WK/Field combo will bring his secondary up a few more levels to make him more appealing. You'll have to hope that it's his batting that is high rather than his WK. If the batting pops first you can get a Strong/Strong pretty quickly. If his WK pops first it will take a while and you'll have a strong/superb.

If you plan to keep then I'd go 2 bat, 1 WK, 1 stamina. As YB says the secondary will catch up eventually.

Bet you wish it was week 1! With ITS you would have had high respectable in both, possibly competent concentration and competent/respectable stamina. £2-3m I'd say.

 

[* ORM *]

Yep but it may still help with rebuild. He is already on 1 bat 1 wk. Should be able to add another net this week or next then one more next season. Funnily enough I already have 18yo prof WK trainee sup/prof with prof WK due to pop but that's fine by me. Train to sell or keep works.

 

[MrB]

Sorry, misread your post, thought you'd put 2 nets on each skill.

 

[* ORM *]

He popped to proficient bat !

 

[MrB]

That's just made him a hell of a lot more useable!
